<h1>U.S. Airstrikes Continue as Houthi Rebels Claim Downing of MQ-9 Reaper Drone with Local Missile in Yemen</h1> Yemen's Houthi rebels claim to have shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone in Marib governorate, while US airstrikes continue targeting the group across Yemen. The rebels assert they used a locally manufactured missile for the downing. President Trump issued warnings to both the Houthis and Iran, stating attacks would continue until shipping threats cease. The US military acknowledged reports of the downing but declined further comment. The current American campaign appears more extensive than previous operations, targeting personnel and urban areas. The Houthis report at least 61 casualties from recent strikes, which began after they threatened to resume targeting vessels they consider Israeli.
